DEBATING TITLE 64 at Banquet Last Night to Boost for Clash With Long Beach Friday Night. Sixty-four members of the high school debating club and faculty were present last night at the debate club banquet given at the high school cafeteria, where a good meal was served and a good program rendered. There were two visitors from Los Angeles and several members of the club who addressed the meeting. Johnnie Johnston noted as tomaster. The first speaker was J. A. Clayes, principal, who asked and answered the question, "Where are we?" He stated that Anaheim had not held the championship of So Cal, since 1905, so many times she has missed it only by a fraction. This year, he declared, her chances are good. Long Beach whom Anaheim meets next Friday night is only a quarter of a point ahead of Anaheim now, being the first in So Cal., while Anaheim stands second and Los Angeles third. If Anaheim wins, which Mr. Clayes declared she is sure to do, then she will be the first in So Cal., tho she will have to contend with Los An- FARRIS WILL MOVE AUTO PAINT SHOP Earl Farris will move his auto paint shop from Chestnut-st to 226 So. Los Angeles-st about Feb. 1. He will install new machinery and new fixtures and make a number of other improvements. Mr. Farris will then be able to do all kinds of high class work, including stationary top with slides, tonneau wind-shield. He will be able to do anything that is done in Los Angeles and his work can't be beaten anywhere for workmanship and quality. TO FORM PEOPLE'S ORCHESTRA HERE The People's Orchestra will meet and organize Jan. 26 at Louis Danz Music store, 162 W. Center-st. Everybody who can play an orchestra instrument and is interested in the better class of music is invited to join. It is planned to make this a big organization and show that Anaheim is the leader in Orange-co musically as well as in many other ways. Anaheim will be known in the musical world. All it takes is cooperation of the abundant local talent. There are no strings or expenses to this orchestra. All it takes is boost for the orchestra to put it over big, as Anaheim puts over everything else. Be there Wednesday at 8 p.m. with your instrument. Remember principal, who asked and answered the question, "Where are we?" He stated that Anaheim had not held the championship of So Cal. since 1905, the many times she has missed it only by a fraction. This year, he declared, her chances are good. Long Beach whom Anaheim meets next Friday night is only a quarter of a point ahead of Anaheim now, being the first in So Cal., while Anaheim stands second and Los Angeles third. If Anaheim wins, which Mr. Clayes declared she is sure to do, then she will be the first in So Cal., tho she will have to contend with Los Angeles for the championship. Ted Selms who was to have followed Mr. Clayes with "Where do we go from here?" was not present, so Perry Spencer of Los Angeles was called upon to tell of "The Spice of Life." He lauded the "pep and ginger" with which the Anaheim boys and girls are endowed and handed a good bouquet to Mrs. B. G. Balcom for her good work in the Anaheim school, saying that she is a woman who talks straight from the shoulder. Johnnie Johnston, toastmaster, averred that this was true—he asked her for her Ford and she nearly kuocked him down. Richard Jenkins, also a visitor from the Los Angeles high school, spoke on "Our Fellow Sufferers in L.A. High," tho he stated he was not quite sure whether the coach had meant the debaters or the audience when he was assigned to the subject. He presumed the debaters, however, and proceeded to tell how the debate club of the Los Angeles high is preparing to fight for the championship. He added that his school is wishing Anaheim the greatest success in the world in the debate against Long Beach. Mrs. Bess G. Balcom, dramatic coach of the Anaheim high, gratified the curiosity of Toastmaster Johnston by telling what a coach dreams. Mr. Johnston declared that he could not see that a coach has any time to dream. She stated that she dreamed of the best bunch of debaters in So Cal. for the local high school, debaters who will be able to go up against difficulties and win. Ed Selms then talked on "The Evil Men Do." He modestly admitted that he was not very well qualified for a talk of this nature, but that he would do the best under the circumstances. He did. In speaking of "The Future Senators," Ray Callor told of a wonderful vision he had when lo! he was on the desert and saw a procession in honor of the most famous men and women in the world and drawing nigh was surprised to see two senators of world renown who were no other than Martin Leuschner and Jack Jackson. Celebrities in other professions from the Anaheim debating club were all receiving high honors. One could almost believe George Hedstrom an Englishman despite his name since he upheld the principle for which Britain fought America in 1812—once an Englishman always an Englishman—or to be more up- Everybody who can play anchestra instrument and is interested in the better class of music is invited to join. It is planned to make this big organization and show that Anaheim is the leader in Orange-co musically as well as in many other ways. Anaheim will be known in the musical world. All it takes is cooperation of the abundant local talent. There are no strings or expenses to this orchestra. All it takes is boost for the orchestra to put it over big, as Anaheim puts over everything else. Be there Wednesday at 8 p.m. with your instrument. Remember the place, 162 W. Center-st. You can get in touch with J. C. S. Garrick at 162 So. Los Angeles-st before Wednesday if you wish, or Louis Danz. CONTINUE CAMPAIGN FOR LEMON TARiff With the hearing on the proposed protective tariff for lemons still in progress today by the ways and means committee in Washington, citrus fruit growers continued their campaign to secure the passage of a two-cent tariff in order that California growers may be given an "even break" with importers of the cheaply produced Sicilian product that has flooded the eastern market. The need of concerted and immediate action on the part of growers here in order to achieve their end was pointed out by Vice President Peters of the California Federation of Farm Bureaus, who made the startling statement that Wall-st interests are back of the importers in the move to block tariff legislation that would not be beneficial to this state. RICH.-CON. NO. 2 BLOWS OUT AGAIN Richfield Consolidated No. 2, on the flats just cast of Richfield station, "cut up jack" again yesterday afternoon when the ten-inch casing was removed, throwing from the large hole a column of gas and oil that shot 20 feet over the derrick's top. The vicinity for a distance of several hundred feet was covered with oil. "It is just a case of the hole being sanded up and cleaning itself out," declared officials today. FUNERAL SERVICES FOR AGED WOMAN Funeral services for Miss Irene E. Githens, 86, who passed away at the home of her friend, Mrs. C. F. Huttenlocher, of Cypress, with whom she had made her home for 30 years; were held this afternoon from the chapel of Backs & Terry, N. Leonst-st, and were in charge of the Buena Park O, E. S. Following the services the remains were to conveyed to Los Angeles for cremation. BABE RUTH'S SPEECH DELIVERED IN BALL NEW YORK, Jan. 25—It was an- on the desert and saw a procession in honor of the most famous men and women in the world and drawing nigh was surprised to see two senators of world renown who were no other than Martin Leuschner and Jack Jackson. Celebrities in other professions from the Anaheim debating club were all receiving high honors. One could almost believe George Hedstrom an Englishman despite his name since he upheld the principle for which Britain fought America in 1812—once an Englishman always an Englishman—or to be more up-to-date, "Once a Debater Always a Debater." Martin Leuschner, however, contradicted him a few minutes later by declaring that one is a debater only. "Once in a Life Time." Toastmaster Johnston agreed that this would work in his case if he let Long Beach get the best of him in the debate Friday night. Ruth Reed then let out the unusual secret, "Why girls debate," and every man there declared Miss Reed was right. She said it is because woman want the first word. Toastmaster Johnston supplemented this with the declaration that they do it to knock the boys out of a job, then loked around to see if the window was open. Agnes Harkness declared she'h "Do Anything Once," adding that that was why she had agreed to make that talk. She then called attention to what the world might have been today if men had hesitated in doing things because no one else had ever done anything like that before. "After Debating, What" asked Jack Jackson. Humph! It all depends upon the judges. "We will!" declared Fred Witman. "We can lick Long Beach—and we will." The Anaheim second team will meet the Santa Monica second team at Santa Monica Wednesday night. BOOTBLACK ON BOOZE CHARGE Will Wright, colored, bootblack at an Orange barber shop, was arrested on a charge of illegally transporting whisky. He was committed to jail in lieu of $500 bond. J. R.

LITTLE GIRL DIES FROM AUTO INJURIES Juanita Coteros, 6, died early today at her home in Downey from injuries suffered Jan. 22 when she was struck by an auto while playing near her home.

An architect has looked over the site within the last few days and is preparing detailed plans for an up-to-date building. The depot will include large waiting rooms, with modern heating and ventilating system. A feature will be a large rest room for ladies, the stage company taking into account that there is now nothing of the kind available in the city.

LUMKIN BADLY BURNED FROM GAS What might have proved a very MASKED BALL AND MID-WINTER FIESTA Preparations are well under way for the Mid-Winter Mardi Gras, to be given by the Anaheim Elks' band for the financing of its summer concert series, Feb. 5, from six in the evening until midnight. During that night, according to E. A. Beard, manager of the band and of the festivities in general, care will be thrown to the winds. Thousands will be here from neighboring cities, towns and settlements, masks, horns and confetti will be in evidence everywhere, and grotesque costumes will be in order. The band, all in disguise, but in good musical fettle, will head a procession at eight, which will take in the principal streets, adding to its number as it goes along, from the merry-makers, on masque, until it will number thousands. Dodgers are being prepared by the publicity committee, of which Mr. Beard is the head. Committee on parade consists of Messrs. Dutton, Hong, Weaver and Brewer and Earl Tozier and Mr. Mercer will attend to the entertainment and carnival features. All these men work without pay, the gross in-take from the sale of horns, confetti, masks and other implements of festivity being poured into the band treasury without deduction. A masked ball, beginning at eight and ending at midnight, will be the crowning event of the celebration, probably to be held at Pressel's hall. Prizes will be awarded for the most curiously rigged-out dancers of both sexes, and for other outstanding costume schemes. The tickets will be on sale by a number of young ladies tomorrow, and a capacity crowd is already guaranteed. The band musicians will have a final meeting on plans Friday night. All this "preparedness" is to assure the funds necessary to give with the full band personnel, the series of concerts outlined for the 1921 concert season. There are several hundreds yet to be raised, which with the appropriation by the city of Anaheim, will enable the musicians to carry out their summer plans. SCOTT REPRESENTS MRS. LUMKIN BADLY BURNED FROM GAS What might have proved a very serious accident occurred in the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Lumkin, Yungbluth-apts, Monday morning about 7 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Lumkin had just finished breakfast and Mr. Lumkin was preparing to leave for his work as driller in the oil fields. Mrs. Lumkin was stooping to pick up an article in front of the gas heater when a flare of flame ignited her clothing, severely burning her shoulders, back and arms. Mr. Lumkin quickly grabbed her and extinguished the flames, but in doing so badly burned his hands. A physician was called and the patient was made as comfortable as possible. She suffered considerable pain during last night. Today it is reported she is resting easier, and will recover. REVOLTS IN ITALY, INDIA AND FINLAND LONDON, Jan. 25—Revolution stalked the bloodstained highways of three nations today and rioting and disorders were reported in Italy, Ireland and India. Milan dispatches told of many being killed and wounded in widespread fighting between Socialists and non-Socialists in Modena, Italy, as well as Ferrera, Perugia and Bologna. The non-Socialist faction in Bolgna and Modena raided the homes, of working men and applied the torch. Ten thousand natives who have risen in mobs are arming and heavy fighting is reported in the Faizabad district of Oudh province of India. Heavy forces of police have been sent from Lucknow, 65 miles distant. A Red revolution is brewing in Finland, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen today quoting reports received there from Finland. FORMER U.S.SENATOR SANTA ANA VISITOR For the purpose of resting, sightseeing and renewing California acquaintances, former U.S. Senator William Alden Smith, of Michigan, brother of Mrs. Ella Campau, 801 French-st., accompanied by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. B.

There are several hundreds yet to be raised, which with the appropriation by the city of Anaheim, will enable the musicians to carry out their summer plans. SCOTT REPRESENTS BIG PLEASURE PIER H. E. Scott, Anaheim realtor, has acquired the Orange-co agency for the placing of stock for the million-dollar pleasure pier at Venice, to take place of the one recently destroyed by fire. Pile driving for the first unit will be completed by Feb. 4 and the building of the superstructure will be started immediately. When completed, it will have a total length of 1400 feet in the shape of a V and a width of 140 feet, giving ample room for numerous concessions, a number of which have already been arranged for and will be in operation by June 1, it is expected. MOULTON SUGGESTS STOCK EXCHANGE Why not a stock exchange for Anaheim, suggests F. W. Moulton, well known stock salesman. Bankers agree with him that there is enough transferring of stock here now to warrant such a move. The development of the Richfield and Huntington Beach oilfields is responsible for a great deal of financing by stock issues, much of which is being disposed of locally and through Anaheim stock brokers. A stock exchange here would more than ever attract attention to Anaheim as the center of this form of financing. FUNERAL SERVICES Funeral services for Lauren Minicart, 29, native of France, who was employed on the D. J. Bastenchury ranch. Fullerton, and who passed away at the Anaheim hospital late Saturday night, were held from the chapel of Backs & Terry this morning at 9:15 and from St. Mary's Catholic church.

B: Kern stated this afternoon he was to have a warrant issued for the arrest of Harry Hanpton, 35, on a charge of issuing fictitious checks. Kern says he was approached about 9:30 p.m. Saturday by Hanpton who requested him to cash a check for $25. Kern said he couldn't do it unless someone was presented to vouch for him. Hanpton returned with L. Durrett, realty man who had been negotiating the sale of a motor to him, who said to go ahead and cash the check. At the Ideal Pool hall another check for $25 was cashed.

He had cashed one at 442 So Spring-st when it occurred to the lady who cashed it to telephone Fullerton and find if it were all right.
